Yeah, that is why i think i will most likely need internet. For a phone, i will most likely use
skype to call home maybe once a week just to touch base.
I do have a old cell phone sitting here in a drawer. If i could use it as pay as you go in mexico
that would be fine by me, although i understand that might be pricey.
I still don't want anything to do with tv though.

Yes, i do plan on visiting a few areas in mexico. Right now i am trying to narrow that
down to at least 3 places that are a must see for me.
One will we be more central mexico, and the other 2 most likely near the ocean.
I want to compare prices of apartment rentals, food, and as i said before, nightlife
is not a concern to me.

The only real issue i face right now, is paying down my modest canadian debt, as
i do not want to worry about any of those issues as i travel.
But that is why they invented online banking. :-)

I am more than willing to learn spanish and live the mexican lifestyle, and i think
i want to try to do that on 500usd a month or less and that will include bus
travel to different locations ect.

Think i will be able to make a go of it or will i need more money besides
emergency cash?
